Apparently when you buy a Christmas tree in Paris, you take your chances. Most I’ve seen for sale are wrapped up like this. I passed two women carrying one down the sidewalk but wasn’t quick enough to snap a photo.

Dusk in Paris is magnificent.

Snapped this one on rue du Bac, walking home after dinner last night.

Greetje from No Fear of Fashion will be here shortly, I’m sure we’ll get up to some shenanigans!

Love these photos of Christmas windows. Some of them absolutely gorgeous (favourite is horse and hat with all the Christmas trees) – and just a bit quirky. Though the headless figure in Paul Smith’s window has gone just a bit too far for me in these darker times. Even has resonances back to the guillotine as well as modern days. Sinister. Otherwise love his wheelbarrow overflowing with lights.
Love the Christmas street scenes too. Have never been in Paris at Christmas, would love to, perhaps one day, though it’s really difficult to leave our garden for weeks at the height of summer with all tomatoes and vegetables flourishing. Also terribly difficult to find people to water all my many flowering or fruiting pot plants (camellias, lemon, lime, cumquats, gardenias, geraniums, fuchsias, hydrangeas – loving them all just now) as well because everyone is away on holidays in December/January – like your July/August.
Looks as though you’re having a fabulous time! Enjoying all these pics. Best wishes, Pamela
